DESCRIPTION:Artifical Intelligence (A.I.) is increasingly part of our lives
 . Self-driving vehicles are just one example that's present and quickly ac
 celerating. A.I. is used in military simulations\, athletic training\, med
 ical delivery and diagnostic programs\, smart home devices like Alexa\, dr
 ug manufacturing research\, banking\, stock investing\, video games\, sequ
 encing genomes\, diagnosing cardiac conditions\, and gene editing\, to nam
 e just some of the complex functions. China has made a huge investment in 
 becoming a world leader. Russian President Vladimir Putin said the country
  that leads the world in A.I. will rule the world. What if A.I. evolves in
 to superintelligence\, surpassing general human intelligence? Are we tryin
 g to build a new deity in the computer lab? Or\, maybe a devil? Will we ta
 ke our place with the dinosaurs? Are we headed into a technological heaven
  or hell? We will explore these and other fascinating religious issues rai
 sed by the possibility of superintelligence. We may even find our way into
  the old Tower of Babel story in the book of Genesis. And what does Mozart
 's Symphony No. 1\, the famous Jupiter Symphony\, have to do with all of t
 his?\n\n \n\n*Zoom link will be sent to all participants prior to the star
 t of the course.
